the psychic which makes a man violate physiology hygiene ethics and friendship asks the doctor why is it that a man employing tobacco con ducts himself in a manner absolutely un natural to a civilized

unfeeling unrespecting narcotized thoujjht the real man himself not being permitted to be in the game calls twain indecent mark twain publishes the fact that witen awaiting the conferring upon him of the degree at oxford his desire for tobacco became so insistent that he knowingly vio lated the rules of the institution by smok ing ihe psychological question is what was in the mind of mark twain which caused him to eo forget or disregard the etiquette of common decency as to force his habit where he says he knew it was contrary to established custom what was the dsvehie which after he had done a thing that judged by the com mon standard of every day affairs was ungentlemauly what was his thought and what a.s it that inspired the thought which prompted him to publish his disloyalty to the accepted principles of gentlemanly con duct as a joke by common consent the parade of ego j tistlc unrefined selfish mannerisms is looked upon as boorish the study of psycho'ogy of tobacco compares that to bacco conduct of mark twain with the ' conduct of others and with his own con duct toward other proprieties and civili ties of life and raises the question ns to why his tobacco conduct does not har monize with his gentlemanly conduct else where all tobacco conduct alike the question is what was in his mind ' which caused him to not follow the ordi nary course of the
